Great program for the city to support.
Volunteer training for the bee monitor project, leaned about the different sites, practical tips for making observations, learned more about identifying the bees we are likely to see and the goals of the project in general. got a tour of the garden to learn about the existing bee houses and bee friendly plants. practiced photographing bees
lovely day and exceptional training despite no air conditioning in auditorium-it happens...
feel confident to contribute to bee monitoring projects going forward using iNaturalist and my phone camera/video or digital camera. More familiar with different types of native bees and what to look for during monitoring and best angle for photo for identification.
Great overview of what we will do on the Native Bee Project and also lots of information on anatomy of bees and hints on how to identify the various species
